Indeed so close I can hear the jet skis in the distance! |

:offtopic: As I remember it, in those parts the name of the river is pronounced 'nenn', whereas downstream nearer to Peterborough, I understand it's pronounced 'neen'. In a past age, I had family in Cogenhoe (pronounced 'cookno'!). :palm: |

--- Quote from: awemawson on July 23, 2013, 01:41:28 PM ---One of those odd coincidences happened today. We drove past this chaps factory to see where it is on the way up. Turns out the very next door unit is occupied by a company run by a fellow I've never met but corresponded with in newsgroups for many years. John S will know him - Peter Forbes. So I'll call in tomorrow and pay him a visit. --- End quote --- Coincidences abound... I've met Peter a couple of times; once to pick up a Lister engine & one to drop off some old Austin A40 bits... I've never seen his factory though... If perchance you see this in time, please say Hello to him from me. Cheers, Ade. |

AdeV, yes I met him. Turns out that the chap I was visiting is Peters landlord! Unfortunately I wasn't able to concentrate much talking to him - suddenly got excruciating groin pains. 999 call and an ambulance later it seems that I have a hernia :( Upside is after they attended within 45 minutes everything went back in place and normality returned. Quelle relief ! The other bonus was that John S was in the area, and he, and my wife and I ended up having a nice meal together at a pub recommended by the ambulance crew !!!! I came back clutching several Traub manuals (borrowed for copying) and these splendid laser cut labels curtsy of Mr John Stevenson. |
